Amazon sells this book for less...
All of our items are sold at the publisher's suggested retail price.
We offer discounts where we can and ebook options to help lower the cost of your textbooks.
We constantly check and compare prices between other online stores and marketplaces. If you feel you have found a better deal somewhere else, please be careful as some items sold here have additional components such as study guides or supplemental materials that other retailers do not sell.
If you still feel an item is overpriced, email us (we cannot do this over the phone) and we'll try to explain things - or maybe we'll even lower the price for everyone!
